Mother’s Day 2011 started out with me getting out of the car before we even backed down the driveway and telling everyone that I was NOT going with them and to just leave. The kids were brats with a capital B. Something sparked Zack to tell me that I am the WORST mother in the world; that he hates me and he wishes he never had me as his mother.

I just lost it. I know he didn’t mean it…that he was mad at me for telling him no to whatever it was that I said no to, but it hit me hard today and I just started crying and basically wanted to tell my family to get the hell out of my face. What a way to start Mother’s Day…being told you’re hated and listening to your husband and kids yell at each other. And I know that Mother’s Day (and Fathers Day) are basically Hallmark holiday’s, but it still hurt and I still would have liked to have had just one day where I am shown that I am appreciated for all that I do. But it didn’t seem like today was my day for that.
We got to where we were going for brunch and my brother asked me those 3 little words, “how are you?” and I just started crying. I think I scared the crap out of my father inlaw. He was either looking at me like I was a freak for crying in public (which I will fully say…I was mortified at myself) or he was trying to scope out the best route to the omelet station.
However, the day started out rocky, but it ended up pretty good! After brunch we stopped by a store that my husband and kids had bought me clothes at. This is where the day got REALLY good. I had to return the clothes BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO BIG! This is the FIRST time I have ever been able to try anything I wanted on and like pretty much everything!
After the best clothes shopping trip EVER, we went to my parents house and ended up going out to dinner with them.
All in all, despite such a crappy start, Mother’s Day 2011 wasn’t all that bad!
Leave me a comment and tell me what you did for Mother’s Day and how your day went!
